The "Daylight" CF bulbs are nice - but you can also just set the WB on your camera to compensate for it. It is cheaper and easier to get started without the bulbs, but they aren't all that expensive either.

Re: Blue screen background for video replacement

Charles - the big point of the umbrellas is to make the light source "bigger". Well, you have a HUGE light source if you need it - just take your high power work lights. Point them up or backwards and reflect them off of the wall or ceiling. Bingo - great light.

Other good places to get this stuff - eBay (seriously cheap backdrops - especially the Chroma Key ones) and B&H Photo Video. Adorama (already listed) and B&H are the top 2 online photo retailers out there - don't worry about your purchase at all.

Oh, and I'm starting a photography business. I have gotten educated on this stuff quite a bit in the past 6 months.
